thats a spyware, do this

thanks

got shut o that ebates thing! it was taking up some resources!!

right i think there is something wrong! i’ve read some of that link, and decided i would give my comp a scan with the housecall, i dont think it like my firefox.

so i thought i’ll load up IE but after about 30 seconds it closes itself down and i can’t get to the scan

if you can’t do the scan though the browser then I’d suggest downloading the programs.
